No, eh? i don't know who it was then - it appeared to be a tall guy on a black/green iro; he sprinted past me then did a u turn and yelled something out. maybe it was a post work blurry-eyed reverie.

Well Jet... you may have really liked that post but it would appear the post had differing feelings about you.

That bike is obviously defective and damaged your seatpost. I'll take it off your hands if you like before it kills again.
In terms of getting the post out, can you not just clamp on a monkey wrench or can drill a hold then bolt a cross bar on to help twist it out. Or clamp the post in a vise and use the bike to twist it out?

So..how many jobs do you "have" waiting for you vs. how many do you have to "get" once in country? Live in a tent and pocket the perdium. 
Do NOT GO OUT FOR ANY REASON....I've known models that have blown every penny keepin up with the night life.
Though a German Bondage scene shoot would get ya a ticket home if all went south.

Just a reminder that tomorrow night is looking great for the DSR Dirt ride. We'll meet at 6.30 and head out at 6.45. Last week was a blast and I'm sure tomorrow will be just as good (if not better)...

So I decided I'm going to strip everything off of an old 1980s racing frame and build it up as a fixie, which saves me from buying a new frame. Only problem is, I don't really like the frame colour/scheme.
I've researched a DIY paint-job, but don't really want to go that route/would probably screw it up. I've heard you can get places to powdercoat your frames/forks. Know of any good/reliable places that won't screw it up?
Any suggestions for colours/themes? I've seen so many beautiful bikes on Fixedgeargallery that I can't decide what I want.
thanks in advance

hmm.. seems like my hub decided to die. The bearings at the very least. It doesn't really want to spin anymore. Then again, I have treated it like a red-headed step-child, so I'm not surprised.
